We drive bold vision of Peugeot's future - pictures

Both the Quartz and Exalt concept cars are underpinned by the 308's EMP2 chassis and offer decent body control, while they feel solid on the road. 

The Quartz uses cameras to adjust springs and ride height to suit the road ahead.

Emphasis inside the Quartz is on sporty design, although similarities to the Exalt's cabin are clear, with both featuring developments of Peugeot's i-Cockpit interface.

Very little of the Quartz concepts will make it to production, but some styling cues will be found on future production cars.

The elegant Exalt is more restrained than the Quartz, with a sleek saloon shape. 

Peugeot originally revealed the Exalt at the Beijing Motor Show in 2014 and then showcased a European version at the Paris Motor Show later that year; the latter is the car you see here.

Interior uses eco materials including 'wood' panels formed from newspaper pulp and 'basalt fibre' in place of carbon fibre.

It's rare to find a concept that drives as well as it looks, but the design flair and tech in these models show Peugeot's forward thinking will continue to drip down into production models in the future.
